I really do get it.
Depending on the political climate, the voters can come to the conclusion to tell conservatives to take a hike. It’s not impossible, it has happened before and will happen again.
Plenty of people don’t care much about taxes. Plenty of people reject what you call traditional values. There are even plenty of people who are against a strong defense.
If FR crafted a policy platform, it would strongly appeal to as many people as one crafted by DU. That is to say, not many people.
This about when a populist outsider arrives on the scene. Should be interesting...
No, you don't. You are supporting the same suicidal strategy of trying to "move to the middle" that has caused the very destruction of the GOP to begin with.

Part of the GOP's loss in the mid-terms was due to historical trends. Nobody likes to see one party in control of government. (albeit, technically there is a one-party, they're just divided by halves) But most of their loss was that they abandoned the winning conservative principles that have made them successful.

That's just bunk. People are concerned about taxes and the cost of government. People deep down are concerned about the unchecked growth in entitlement spending and boondoggles in other federal programs.

FR is not a political party, so your comparison is specious. Now if the GOP crafted a true conservative platform like they did in 1994, people would overwhelmingly support it.
